Established in 2012, Culture Club-Portland was created in response to growing concerns about the dwindling presence of cultural experiences for students in public schools. The consortium, brought together by a generous anonymous donor, includes the Portland Museum of Art, Portland Ovations, Portland Stage, and Portland Symphony Orchestra, and has the aspirational goal of providing free arts experiences to every child in Portland Public Schools, every year.

To learn more about programming available to Portland Public Schools through Culture Club-Portland, go directly to arts organizations websites where you will find contact information and programming information. Portland Public Schools school-based staff is encouraged to call and speak directly with the education coordinators at the Portland Museum of Art, Portland Stage, Portland Ovations and the Portland Symphony.
